An extremely tourist-y place, but a requirement for your Seoul trip is the Star Gallery at Lotte Department Store. If you’re multifandom, you’re in luck, since you can be surrounded by not only BTS, but also TWICE, Super Junior, and EXO as well!
Getting back to our boys though — once you get to the Star Gallery, you’ll be able to feel as close to them as you can without intruding on their space, via a hand model display! As you can see, V has ridiculously large hands, while Jimin’s hands are just as smol as you’d probably think. Although we may not be able to meet them in person, the hand model display serves as a great way for us to feel closer to our boys.
As one of Korea’s premier retail destinations, LOTTE Department Store offers a wide range of branded and luxury items in a polished, modern setting. While the outlet maintains its reputation for variety and prestige, the overall experience could benefit from greater customer engagement and more competitive pricing. For shoppers focused on high-end labels, the store remains relevant, though the atmosphere may feel reserved and less dynamic compared to other retail hubs.

Upscale department store, I didn't go shopping, my wife sent me down to the food court on B1. Many merchants and multiple variety of foods. Strongly recommended for hanging out here if you (mostly men) 😉 don't like shopping

I find this mall to be exceptionally large. There are so many floors in here. For some reason, I always forget where I am. It was extremely crowded during weekends. You can come here if you want to buy some clothes, perfume, socks, etc. It was really convenient. I will always come here if I am living in Korea. There are a lot of stores, so don't need to worry about losing interest. This department store is connected to the Avenuel. It is a chained building. It sounds so cool. I am just wandering around in here. I am quite lost in here as well, but the mall direction signage helps me quite a lot. Thank you for your help xd. I am going to several stores, like the clothing section and shoes section only. It is huge, but I guarantee I will come again in the future. It is quite a great experience for me.

Excellent food section in the basement, very much like the Japanese department stores (Hanshin, Hankyu, Daimaru) in Osaka that we love. There have an additional sit down section where you can order food to eat in. Excellent choices.

You can find almost anything in their department store.
If you're looking for a food related item, their basement are full of different little stations of foods that you could think of plus a large supermarket as well.
If you are afraid of eating street food or questionable restaurant, The food court in the basement is your best choice. You can find many different Asian countries food in the food court area.
They also added certain area of outside vendors where they showcase different items that are not in the regular supermarket.

I visited this place at least twice during my few days' stay in Seoul, Korea. There are Lots of luxury shops. I highly recommend their food avenue for fresh fruits, salads, and some hot meals.
As a Muslim, I wish their food had more clear labels of ingredients like alcohol and meat.
